If you are absent, please complete one of the following forms:

1. Educational Leave Request Form:  This is the form you’ll use if you know in advance that you’re going to be absent because of a qualifying educational opportunity. You’ll need to fill out and submit this form through the Attendance Office to see if your absence can be approved.
2. GHLS Absence Form:This is the form you turn in through the Attendance Office after an absence due to an illness, family emergency, surgery, etc. in order to see if that absence can be excused.

Both of these forms can be found on the GLHS website and in the Attendance Office. It is important to remember that in addition to completing and submitting these forms, you should check in with your teachers to see what you missed and make arrangements to make up your work.

Students who arrive late to school should check-in at the Attendance Office before heading to class. If you are already at school but run late between a class change, just go to your class as quickly as possible. Your teacher will mark you tardy when you arrive.

• Students leaving campus during school hours for an appointment will need to be checked out of school by a parent. Your parent needs to come to the Attendance Office in person with their ID to check you out.  NOTE:  No checkouts are allowed after 2:00 pm.
• If you have a registered student parking space, you can check yourself out with a note from your parent/guardian. NOTE:  No checkouts are allowed after 2:00 pm.

When you return, you need to check back in at the Attendance Office. Please bring your doctor’s note if you have one.

Go to Student Services to see Ms. Fegeley, email Ms. Fegeley at kfegeley@wcpss.net, or download the "Student On-Campus Parking" form. 

Go to the Attendance Office to see Ms. McIndoe, email Ms. McIndoe at smcdoe@wcpss.net, or download the "Off-Campus Lunch Pass" form.

See Mrs. McIndoe in the front office. She can assign one to you.

Students who forget something at home may call or text a parent and ask him/her to bring the item to school during lunch or after school.  Please meet your parent at carpool pick-up. The Front Office cannot be responsible for your items.  

Go to Student Services, explain the problem, and ask for help.

For the first 3 days of school, students can see counselors during lunch.  You can make an appointment with your counselor to discuss schedule concerns from the GLHS website and sign up using YouCanBook.me.  When you go to the GLHS website, click on the “Students” tab and then “Student Services.” Our calendars are available each week - you simply follow the instructions on the website to sign up for a time that works best for you.  You will get an email reminder that you can use as your hall pass to show your teacher to come to Student Services. Counselors will also have an "open time" for students to come in during lunch - no appointment needed!

Please make an appointment to see your School Counselor in Student Services.

Your first course of action, whenever possible, should be to speak with your teacher to see if you can resolve the issue. Although GL teachers are happy to communicate with parents, self-advocacy is a valuable and important skill and we encourage students to develop it by trying to work personally with their teachers when they can. If you are not able to resolve your problem by speaking to and working with your teacher, please make an appointment to see your School Counselor in Student Services.

If you are in class, let your teacher know that you feel ill. Your teacher will either send you to Student Services or ask someone to come and get you. If you get sick during lunch or a class change, go to Student Services.

Please go to Student Services. We won’t let anybody go hungry!

There are dispensers in the girls’ bathrooms and some teachers may have products in their classrooms along with other student supplies. You can always go to Student Services as well. They have free sanitary products for students.

Let your teacher know that you need to talk to a counselor in Student Services. Your teacher will either write you a pass to Student Services and then use the school Microsoft Teams system to let them know that you are on your way or he/she will ask someone from Student Services to come and meet you.  If this isn’t an emergency, you can make an appointment through YouCanBook.me. When you go to the GLHS website, click on the “Students” tab and then “Student Services.” Counselor’s calendars are available each week - you simply follow the instructions on the website to sign up for a time that works best for you.  You will get an email reminder that you can use as your hall pass to show your teacher to come to Student Services. Counselors will also have open time for students to come in during lunch - no appointment needed!
